PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: October 13, 2025
Last Updated: October 13, 2025

Introduction

Six Lines (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our mobile application and marketing website.

Information We Collect

Mobile Application

Core Features - Minimal Data Collection

Six Lines is designed with privacy as a core principle. The app works without requiring personal information:

  • No required accounts: You can use the core app without registration or login
  • No behavioral tracking: We do not track your navigation patterns or usage habits
  • No crash reporting: We do not collect crash logs or diagnostic data
  • No third-party tracking: No advertising networks or analytics services are integrated

Optional Personalization Features

During onboarding or elsewhere in the app, you may choose to engage with optional personalization features. If you do, we may temporarily collect:

  • Reflective responses: Your answers to questions designed to understand your contemplative preferences
  • Initial readings: Divination queries and hexagrams you explore during onboarding
  • Profile indicators: Information about how you prefer to engage with the I Ching and artwork

This personalization data is:

  • Completely optional—you may skip personalization entirely
  • Stored temporarily on our servers or until you upgrade to premium features
  • Used only to enhance your experience within the app
  • Never sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising
  • Automatically deleted after a period of inactivity unless you create a premium account

If you upgrade to premium, this personalization data becomes permanently associated with your account and is retained according to our premium account data retention policies.

Premium Features - Optional Account Creation

If you choose to upgrade to premium features (such as journaling, saving memories, or cross-device sync), we collect and store:

  • Account credentials: Email address or authentication method for secure access
  • Personal content: Journal entries, saved readings, reflections, and other content you create
  • Profile information: Any personalization data from onboarding becomes permanently associated with your account
  • Sync data: Information necessary to maintain your experience across devices

Premium account data is:

  • Encrypted in transit and at rest
  • Stored securely on our servers
  • Never sold or shared with third parties
  • Never used for advertising or marketing without explicit consent
  • Fully exportable and deletable upon request

Important: Premium features are entirely optional. The core Six Lines experience remains available without an account.

Local Data Storage

Certain preferences are stored locally on your device and never leave your device:

  • Theme preferences (light/dark mode)
  • Scroll positions for artworks
  • Recently viewed hexagrams
  • Interface customizations

This locally stored data is not transmitted to our servers unless you create a premium account and enable sync.

Contact Access (Optional)

If you choose to enable contact access, the app may request permission to access your device’s contact list solely for the purpose of facilitating sharing of hexagrams and artworks with your contacts. This feature is:

  • Completely optional
  • Only used locally on your device
  • Never transmitted to our servers
  • Never shared with third parties

You can revoke this permission at any time through your device’s settings.

Marketing Website

Minimal Data Collection

Our marketing website collects minimal information necessary for basic functionality:

  • Server logs: Standard web server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited
  • No cookies: We do not use tracking cookies or analytics
  • No personal information: We do not collect names, email addresses, or other personal data through the website

How We Use Information

Mobile Application

We use collected information only for the following purposes:

  • Personalization: To tailor hexagram and artwork pairings to your contemplative preferences
  • Account services: To provide premium features like journaling, saved readings, and cross-device sync
  • App improvement: To understand how features are used and improve the contemplative experience
  • Communication: To respond to your questions or support requests

We never use your information for advertising, marketing to third parties, or any purpose unrelated to your Six Lines experience.

Marketing Website

Any server log data is used solely for:

  • Basic website functionality
  • Security monitoring
  • Technical troubleshooting

Information Sharing

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties. Your data may only be shared in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: With trusted infrastructure providers (such as cloud hosting) who help us operate the app, under strict confidentiality agreements
  • Legal requirements: If required by law or to protect our legal rights
  • With your consent: If you explicitly request us to share information

We will never sell your personal information or use it for advertising purposes.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

  • Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest
  • Secure infrastructure: Data is stored on secure, reputable cloud platforms
  • Access controls: Strict limitations on who can access user data
  • Regular updates: We maintain current security patches and protocols

While no system is completely secure, we take reasonable precautions to protect your information.

If you have provided personal information (through personalization or premium features), you have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal data
  • Correct: Update inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Delete: Request deletion of your data (right to be forgotten)

Children’s Privacy

Six Lines is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete it.
